Beautiful and stylish women do not possess any super powers that other women do not. They also have to cope with everyday life such as work, kids and stress. The only thing that they do different is that they are simply well prepared.

We keep hearing that men like to be with women who are classy, but have you ever wondered what that actually means? The truth is there is not only one answer to that, and what is worse, women need to possess many qualities to be called “classy”. You need to recognize your flaws and your qualities and work on that first. Being classy is not easy at all. You have to work for it, really work for it.

You do not have to possess wealth, or be the prettiest woman in the world or the best dressed to be defined as being classy.

Here are some things that will help you become different woman and stand out from the crowd. These things are really simple. Sometimes we forget about them and continue making the same mistakes. So, let`s go through some simple rules and if you need to you can even write this things down.

If you invite guests over do not leave them waiting while you are still in the kitchen preparing the meal or even getting dressed and putting make up.

In case you are invited to an event it is always nice to get there on time. I would say 5 minutes before or late is something that could be accepted.

If you show up on time you will be relaxed and at peace. You won`t be feeling anxious because you were trying to finish another chore in the house and for that reason you are running late.

Do What You Say You Would Do

If you make a promise stay true to it. If you think that you cannot commit to something than do not say that you would. This way you will avoid cat fights, disappointments and making people upset.

Finish What You Started

If you are making dinner do not leave your dishes lying around in the sink. Do them while you are cooking. If you are doing the laundry, fold the clothes and not just leave them in the basket for when you have time. If you start doing one thing, finish it before you move on to the next one.

Work on Your Posture

Avoid slouching at all costs, no matter whether you are sitting or standing. Keep your shoulders straight and your head up.

Hygiene is Everything

By all means shower every day and always wear clean clothes. If you are going to do something where you might get dirty or sweaty, always wear an extra shirt.

Be Well Groomed

A very important thing that everyone notice is woman`s hair. Make sure you have a healthy and well groomed hair.

Makeup

This is not obligatory to be classy, but if you do enjoy putting on makeup, then the natural looking makeup should be your choice. A very strong makeup, or even worse, poorly applied makeup kind of looks cheap. I highly suggest you to use natural products only because they are one of the bests on the market.

Dress Modestly

Your clothes do not have to be very expensive to look good. The most important thing when it comes to clothing is to wear clothes that fits you and are wrinkle free.

Say Please and Thank You

Say thank you even if you are asking for someone to pass you the salt and pepper. Having good manners will make you look classy and gracious.

Stay Positive

Always try to look at the brighter side and avoid complaining about everything. You cannot complain constantly about everything because that way you are spreading negative energy.

And in case you are prepared to go the extra mile then these are the things that you can do. Read as much as you can. There is nothing more impressive than a well informed lady. Another part of being classy is to be a conscientious citizen. Do not forget your good manners even if you are in a rush. Let the pedestrians cross when you are driving or let your sit in a public transportation to an elderly or a pregnant woman for instance.

If you are truly committed to being classy then there are a couple of things that you have to forget. I do not know whether I need to point out these things because they are simply a common sense but still there are some women who need to be reminded.

I agree, do what you said you were going to do! if your not sure you can commit to something or someone than don’t. I always try to check my schedule beforehand so I dont have to cancel in the long run. Great tips!

Aside from wearing makeup (which I do not do) and dressing modestly (which is a concept of personal opinion), everyone could benefit from following some of these rules. Being late is a huge pet peeve of mine in particular!

I like to think I am a mix of both. I look classy because of the way I dress and have good manners but at the same time I like to swear and have a potty mouth. It is liberating and I don’t think that there is anything wrong with it 🙂

There are some great tips in here and I agree for the most part. I don’t agree with the makeup point however as I find too much makeup to be trashy and sometimes people are more confident with no makeup.

What an interesting read! I have often heard people calling someone classy but I have never knew what’s the exact definition for that is. I agree with you that being classy sure includes good hygiene, grooming and behaving nicely in every occasion. 🙂

I think that being on time, being well groomed and being positive are great life lessons, although what is classy to some may not be to others I think the most important thing is to be true to yourself 🙂

So interesting. I’m having mixed feelings about this. Part of me things the whole woman should be this way and not that way is the patriarchy controlling women. BUT, on the other hand, I do also agree haha. What can I say, it’s complicated. LOVE those quotes too.

I think these are habits that everyone should have, not just women. I like it when people are committed to what they do and if they finish what they started. It’s a good habit to have. I definitely like this list!

I love this post. Classy women pay attention to hygiene and good grooming. They are generous with their “thank yous” and respect others’ time by keeping their appointments and showing up on time. Classy and elegant is not about clothes.

Great post, and I totally agree with a lot of these. I think that having a positive attitude and mindset especially help people to seem “classier” among other things. I think many people aspire to be like those with positivity seeping out of their pores.

Oh geez! I am so far from classy that it makes me cry. Okay, really just two things. 1. I struggle with being on time (but I swear I am working on it). And 2. I do not always wear makeup, but I feel that I do not need it everyday lol! Thank you for sharing, I do agree with these tips on how Classy Ladies act. 🙂

I agree, especially on the one about doing what you promised. Doing what you promised shows that you have integrity and quite honestly, class! Also, it is a good practice to be on time, though sometimes I have the opposite problem–I’m too early sometimes, because being late makes me extra anxious! :\
